The configuration parameters for this device are:

Lighting control:

  • DMX address: 128

Control via radiofrequency

Radiofrequency codes to control the bubbles:

Code 43: ON / OFF

Code 74: OFF

Code 89: ON

Code 96: intermittent bubble

Code 112: single bubble

In the SHX application it is configured inside the RF devices with the following configuration:

  • The tube must be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning.
  • Never use chemical or abrasive products to clean the tube.
  • Clean the tube and the base from the top downwards using non-soapy water and a soft cloth. Thoroughly dry the surface of the tube and the base and wait one hour to connect to the power supply.
  • It is recommended to use a capful of non soapy bleach to the water once a year to prevent presence of algae and bacteria.
  • Make sure there aren’t any soap residues inside the bubble tube (otherwise the bubbles will create foam and it will overflow from the tube).
